    Default Question about having multiple systems hooked up.

    Hi all
    I was wondering if there is any adapter or switch to have multiiple systems hooked up. Liike say a nes and a snes or saturn all hooked up at the same time. Without having to changed the RF switch in the back of the TV. Your input would be great thanks

    I assume you're using RFs since you said "Without having to changed the RF switch in the back of the TV".If that's the case,just plug them into each other.Screw one into the other and then plug into the tv.Now if you're using av and/or svideo cables,component cables,you're going to need a system selector.You can get one pretty cheap,I picked mine up at Blockbuster for $20 CDN and it has 5 inputs all with s video.

    The only problem with daisy chaining RF boxes is that the loss of signal is greater with each RF.

    I know radio shack used to sell video selectors with RF switches on them, and supposedly gamestop sells selectors with RF switches on them too. Don't know much about that, though.

    Yes i was also thinking that there was a rf Changer switch or something like that but i dont know what its called or where to look for one. I myself have never heard of connectiing Rf switchs to each other.

    Radio Shack. I have 3 of them hooked up to one TV. I will admit it gets confusing, but is worth the hassle.
    Somebody make me a "CGE 2k7 Attendee banner" so I don't have to use this lame text

    All of mine are connected to each other and it looks kinda messy when you look behind the tv.
